This weblog was created to act as a platform for the voice of secular pro-democracy activists in and outside Iran who are struggling against the religious dictatorship of the Islamic clerics in Iran.

Syria's Iman Al-Obeidi

Dictatorships are dab hands at organising rent a crowd mobs for their state cameras, making out the hired mobs are spontaneous outbursts of popular love and affection for the dictator, but it only takes the courage of one person to show how false they all are. Here a Syrian lioness, shows exceptional courage in the middle of thousands of Bashar Assad's procured supporters on live TV and it takes tens of Bashar's security men to subdue her. Little they realise that they have lost the game already, the courage of one woman has spoiled their party:

Cue someone standing up to say 'Ooh I love you Mr President, I want to kiss your arse, you should be leader of the entire world.'

Then in closing. 'And hey - guess what? I'm now thinking about reforms again in 2011.'

Oh and yes - the crowds go wild - eveybody in his inner cycle mono-tone applauds him yet again, before then all lining up to shake the hand of the best thing since sliced bread!

Ha, no wonder this woman protester threw herself at his car afterwards. Now no doubt the first of many. A true dictator at work. Surrounded by so many sychopants, yes men and a fear apparatus that all his deluded ego can offer is patronizing platitudes for the people. Still, should Assad's regime now fall, I'm sure his equally despotic pal Khamenei will give him sanctuary. Well for a while at least. Because if Assad's tyranny does fall, then you can guarantee that the Iranian people won't want to be the last stiffled odd man out - surrounded by so much libety and democracy!

I used to think USA has democracy and rule of law - thanks to Reza for opening my eyes. I can only suggest to him to provide useful information for Americans wishing to seek political asylum in Iran - where and how they can apply, the forms to fill etc. ;-).

--------------------------------------
Last time I was in Iran, was during the Islamic "cultural revolution". I hated what was taking place in front of my eyes.
Illiterate gangs of thugs attacking students and academics and telling them how a university must be run! Book stalls being attacked, with books torn up and burned.
I knew then that I had to do something to get rid of this scourge of clerics who had seized power in Iran.
My main objective in life is to help establish a secular democracy in Iran.
I believe the best way forward for Iran to be based on four pillars of Democracy, Secularism, Nationalism and Meritocracy.
Most countries that have adopted these principles have been prosperous, why shouldn't our people be one of them?
